Option 1 results in a shorter connection.
Use 3/16-in. welds: 5-in. transverse, 28-in. longitudinal bottom and 10½-in. longitudinal top.
Note that, if a larger weld is used, the connection will be shorter.
Although the problem statement requires that the minimum weld size be used, as was
done above, an alternate solution with a larger weld will be presented.

(The welds will not be designed. For an explanation, see Example 8.12 in the

Alternative 2: use a diagonal stiffener. With this alternative, use full-depth horizontal
stiffeners.
The shear force to be resisted by the web reinforcement is 152. 8 − 111. 1  41. 7 kips.
If this force is taken as the horizontal component of an axial compressive force P in the

Since the stiffener is continuously connected along its length, we will treat it as a
compression member whose effective length L c is zero. From AISC J4.4, for
compression elements with L c /r  25, the nominal strength is

Use a 5/16-inch fillet weld on each side of the web between mid-depth and
the compression flange.
